“In Toronto,
opportunity abounds. As big as the Greater Toronto Area may be (it's home to
more than 5.5 million people), the city itself consists of many distinct,
highly livable neighbourhoods—each with its own character, family-friendly
amenities, and entertainment options. These communities are home to more than
100 cultures from around the world. Toronto is one of the most
multicultural on the planet, with about 50% of our population born outside of
Canada. For our postdocs, this diversity can help make a new city feel very
much like home.”
